this week we were asked by the BSc to share our thoughts on wolves summer window...
Wolves are entering a defining summer transfer window, with several key players nearing the end of their contracts or attracting interest from Europe’s top clubs.
This could make Wolves one of the most active Premier League teams this offseason.
The biggest worry is the loss of Matheus Cunha and now potentially Rayan Ait-Nouri, two of the squad’s main creative outlets. Their departures would leave a major gap in attacking quality.
The future of other forwards – like Gonçalo Guedes and Hwang Hee-chan – is unclear, and with Pablo Sarabia already gone, strengthening the forward line is a must.
Wolves cannot afford to gamble on untested players or projects. The club needs experienced, ‘oven-ready’ signings who can contribute immediately – not just talent with potential.
At wing-back, questions persist. Nelson Semedo’s contract is unresolved, Ait-Nouri is wanted by leading clubs, and while Hugo Bueno and Rodrigo Gomes show promise, neither has enough Premier League experience.
Manager Vitor Pereira’s preference for physically strong, one-on-one capable players will shape Wolves’ search strategy this summer.
Fortunately, Wolves are well-equipped in central defence and midfield. The duo of Andre and Joao Gomes must remain untouchable, as they are vital to the team’s balance and progression.
Leadership is another pressing concern. With the possible exit of senior figures, including the captain, Wolves risk losing valuable dressing-room experience.
Past seasons have exposed the drawbacks of lacking strong leaders – especially during tough stretches – so the club must prioritise recruiting players with a track record of leadership and resilience.
While excitement about fresh signings is natural, too much squad upheaval brings risks. Major changes can disrupt team unity and make it tougher for new players to settle – both into the style of play and daily life in Wolverhampton.
Wolves’ future success depends on wise recruitment: replacing lost creativity, bringing in immediate-impact players, and adding proven leaders who can guide the team.
We’ve got a big summer ahead!
